$2 million for a double-wide

The Bay Area is one of the most expensive housing markets in the country, but $2 million will still get you a pretty nice house, from Livermore to Marin to Palo Alto. What will it buy you in Malibu? How about a mobile home?

Ann Brenoff of AOL Real Estate broke the news yesterday that the most expensive sale this year of a mobile home happened in Malibu, at the Paradise Cove mobile home park. The transaction was handled all in cash. The new owner did get a deal – the original listing price of the 2 bedroom, 2 bath mobile home was $2,550, 000.

Surprisingly, this $2 million transaction doesn’t go down in history books as the most expensive double-wide ever sold. During the housing hey day, other mobile homes in the park went for as much as $2.5 million. The premium buys access to a prime lot and Malibu shoreline views often only seen at the multi-million dollar homes of Hollywood celebrities.
